Description

1912 Opening Day St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Panoramic Photograph. The hosting Cardinals supplied Opening
Day fans with a shutout victory on April 11, 1912, downing Honus
Wagner's Pirates crew by a tally of seven to nothing. This
marvelous view from the outfield grandstands appears to capture
pre-game warm-ups, as both bullpens are active, while others play
catch. These massive images are particularly susceptible to the
perils of creasing and staining, and we find some of each here, but
these issues must be forgiven in light of the tremendous scarcity.
We've never seen another example. This is a particularly large
panorama, measuring approximately 8x58"--nearly five feet in
length! Original frame, which exhibits holes from an earlier wall
mounting, completes the dimensions at 11.5x61.5".
